Myths Of The The Dog Gellert (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781425316655)

Myths Of The Dog Gellert is a book written by S. Baring-Gould that explores the Welsh legend of Gellert, a faithful dog who saved his master's infant son from a wolf attack. The story takes a tragic turn when the master, Prince Llywelyn, returns home to find his home in disarray and Gellert covered in blood. Believing that the dog had killed his son, Llywelyn kills Gellert in a fit of rage, only to later discover that his son was alive and the blood belonged to the wolf that Gellert had fought off. Baring-Gould delves into the various versions of the Gellert legend and examines the themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the dangers of jumping to conclusions. The book also includes illustrations and photographs of the Welsh landscape and the ruins of Beddgelert, the village where the legend is said to have taken place. Overall, Myths Of The Dog Gellert is a fascinating exploration of a timeless legend that continues to capture the imagination of readers today.THIS 18 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Curious Myths of the Middle Ages, by S.
